Mumbai are on a roll. With four handsome wins and another game at home they start favorites for certain. Adding Rohit Sharma’s and Suryakumar Yadav’s form makes them an even scarier prospect as they look favorites to go deep in the tournament.

MI vs LSG Match Prediction & Analysis

Match 45 of IPL 2025 sees Mumbai Indians (MI) go up against Lucknow Super Giants (LSG) at Wankhede on Sunday afternoon. MI have finally broken into the top four after stringing together four wins in a row. The five-time champs are hitting their stride at just the right time. LSG, on the other hand, are still unpredictable—they’ve slipped to sixth with five wins and four losses. The surface should be good for batting, and with the kind of power hitters both teams bring, we could be in for a high-scoring clash.

TEAMS PREVIEW

Mumbai Indians Preview

After stumbling early in the season, Mumbai Indians have found their groove—four wins in a row have pushed them up to fourth on the table, with 10 points from nine games. Their most recent win came in Hyderabad, where they made light work of a modest 144-run chase against SRH, wrapping it up in 15.4 overs with seven wickets to spare.

They’re starting to look like a complete unit. The top order— Ryan Rickelton, Will Jacks, and Rohit Sharma—have had their ups and downs but are putting enough on the board to give the innings a decent platform. Rohit’s back in rhythm too, with back-to-back 70s that helped seal the last two games. Given his IPL track record, that’s a big boost heading into the final stretch.

Lucknow Super Giants Preview

It’s been a bit of a stop-start campaign for Lucknow Super Giants this IPL—five wins, four defeats, and a sixth-place spot with a poor NRR of -0.054. They’ve pulled off some solid results but haven’t managed to build momentum. To stay in the playoff race, they’ll need to string together a few wins quickly.

One thing going their way lately is Aiden Markram’s uptick with the bat. The opener has looked more settled as the season’s gone on, scoring 326 runs in nine innings at a strike rate of 151—third-best in the side.

Mitchell Marsh and Nicholas Pooran have been the mainstays in the batting department. Marsh has hit 344 in eight games at 160.74, including four half-centuries. Pooran has been even better—377 runs in nine outings, striking at an outrageous 204.89. He failed in the last two games, so we expect him to make a big impact in this match, particularly on a great batting wicket like Wankhede.

Outside of these three overseas stars, the batting hasn’t clicked. Rishabh Pant’s tough run continues—just 106 in eight innings—and the middle order lacks bite. David Miller’s been off as well, struggling to find timing or rhythm.

That said, Ayush Badoni and Abdul Samad have chipped in when needed. Badoni’s composed 36 off 21 in the last game steadied the innings, while Samad’s late knocks have added some valuable late runs.

Weather Conditions

At Wankhede, the strip usually offers plenty for the batters, though there’s often a brief window at the start where the quicks can extract some movement with the fresh ball. Once that passes, the track flattens out and scoring flows. With an afternoon start, expect the pitch to dry out and give spinners something to work with in the middle overs. The surface should remain solid throughout, meaning slower balls might not be the best option.

Conditions will be hot and muggy in Mumbai, but showers aren’t on the radar.

MI vs LSG Pitch Report

At Wankhede, first-innings scores usually hover around 170. RCB smashed the highest ever here with 235-1 against MI back in 2015. In the last two games, teams batting first put up 176-6 and 162-5, but still lost without much of a fight. That tells you anything under 190 isn’t likely to hold up. Both sides will probably have 200-plus in mind if they want to stay ahead.

Toss: To Bat

This will be an afternoon game, and in this hot and sultry weather, both teams are likely to bat first.
